Usually Andy doesn't have a table at this swap cause he opens up Reef Paradise for the day so people can go between the swap and the store. Plus he usually has food and drinks and great specials on frags as well. This year the swap is literally less than ten minutes down the road from Reef Paradise.

Nothing fancy, but I've got a few small softy frags if anyone's interested in a trade- pink cabbage coral, pink toadstool, waving hands, kenya trees. I'd be interested in similar softies or lps I don't have, maybe some hitch-hiker sponge, invert or ugly sea pork. Come to think of it what I would really like is a few hitch-hiker brittle stars, mine were wiped out in a power failure in March. :(
What I've been doing with these frags is trading them in to the Fish Doctors for something from their $5 frag tank (to give you an idea of their non-specialness) but figured since this is coming up I'd throw it out there!

Swap was Great as usual.
I stopped by Reef Paradise which was only a few miles away and I was Blown Away.
It is not like your normal LFS.
It is pretty much like a Frag Swap year round there.
There are no Noob Corals or Common Corals.
You won't find any Xenia, Green Star Polyp or Pink Briarium there.
Only High End Stuff with Fancy Names like you see at the Swaps.
It is a store for Hardcore Reefers.
If you have not been there I suggest that you go.
I talked with the owner Andy and he was a real nice guy.
He gave me some great advice on keeping Chalices.
I bought a Super Cool Plasma Cutter Chalice too.
I think he said that he had like 3,000 Frags on Hand which is Crazy.
